NAAFS 
5/16/11 Courtesy of MMAmania.com: Someone has finally spoken up about Jay Hieron.
The highly-touted Xtreme Couture fighter controversially decisioned his way through the final two rounds of the Bellator season four welterweight tournament against both Brent Weedman and Rick Hawn to earn a title shot against Ben Askren. Many fans and media alike disagreed with the judges but the fighters stayed silent.
Until now.
Bellator welterweight tournament fighter Chris Lozano made his feelings known today to MMAmania.com during his appearance on the Verbal Submission radio show with yours truly.
“I think it was garbage. Bellator did a great job of setting up one of the greatest tournaments ever in MMA history and judging totally just skewed the whole entire thing. I think Jay Hieron lost his last two fights. That’s my beef. He lost both of his last two fights. They set him up with the easiest route possible to make it to the finals and he lost his last two fights and he still ended up winning the tournament and I can’t wait for a chance to fight that dude. I know all the other Bellator welterweights can’t wait for the chance either. “
Lozano has had a beef with the Xtreme Couture fighter ever since he was announced as a participant in the Bellator tournament. “The Cleveland Assassin” didn’t like Hieron’s attitude from day one, believing Hieron had a “thug mentality” and that he thought he could waltz through the tournament.
The Strong Style fighter also feels Jay was handed a gift in the first round of the Bellator tournament, although he admits he’s probably biased.
“I don’t care who gets mad about it. (Jay Hieron) had the weakest opponent in the first round. They lined him up with the guy who got hurt, Steve Carl, weakest opponent in the tournament. When he gets hurt, they get Anthony Lapsley but everybody in that tournament could have beat Anthony and everybody knows that. I like Anthony, he’s a good guy, but I mean they give (Jay) the weakest guy in the first round and in the second round he got beat. Whatever, even if you want to give him the second round fight, he definitely lost to Hawn in my opinion.”
“I might be a little biased because I don’t like the dude but that’s the way I saw it. You asked my opinion, you’re not asking for the truth. I’m giving you my truth but Bellator might see it differently, the judges in Oklahoma might see it differently or whoever they had judging the fight but that’s what I saw. I saw a guy get slid through and handed a gift. Someone owes Rick Hawn a $100,000 check.”

I agree with the Hieron sentiment…but would disagree with the statement in regards to Lapsley. The dude beat Weedman, so how is it that everyone in the tournament could have beaten him? Please elaborate.
Yo Lozano, I was the weakest in tourney huh……you got severely beat up in first round, my fight against Jay was controversial. Lyman did a good job showing who was the weakest. Did you forget how your face looked afterwards, I felt bad for you. Didnt even see you at the after party, I wonder why. I never heard of you until the tourney, you have accomplished nothing in this sport but a bad case of mouth diarrhea. I will fix that for you…….sincerely Anthony Lapsley
LOL…..and what’s funny was I thought you was the worst cat in tourney, due to lack of MMA credentials, nobody knows who you are. I’m gonna find out who you are. At least u know how to get some attention. Name dropping in articles. On Jay’s d!ck, and now u got my name in ur mouth….LOL. I’m gonna get u a name. Starting a ‘Who is Chris Lozano?” campaign u need attention bad. Poor kids.
I agree with Lozano. Hieron is the baddest dude at 170 in that turny? Dont think so and he did get an easy road. I think Lozano wins in next year. Lozano v Lapsley would be good fight that id want to see.
Calm down Lapsley. Why you so mad over one man’s opinion?? Neither of you made it out of the first round, and you got finished!! I say Bellator lets you two fight it out to see who is truly the weakest man in the tourney lol. Oh, I got my money on Lozano, for the record.
Lozano is a str8 bitch lol he gets crushed and is all mad talkin shit. Sounds like he insecure and covering up for really bein a stepping stone in the tourny. Why wouldnt laps get mad? hes a former world champ of KOTC and this dude is talkin mad shit on him. What has Lozano done?
LOL!!! @ Calling Lozano a bitch and then making your name anonymous. Classic.
I’m from Cleveland and want to see all Ohio fighters win on big stage. War Lozano!
lazano smashes Lapsley. That wouldn’t be a good fight.
